DLTK's Crafts for KidsReal Candle Christmas Craft

Materials:

plastic shallow butter bowl

dried white beans

dried kidney beans (reddish brown color)

dried green lentils

1 oz. or a little less Elmer's glue.

gold or red taper candle

(I had mixed beans, kidney beans and a red candle so that's what
I used for mine... I'm always telling people to use what they have!
You can also add sequins or sparkles to your bean and glue mixture!)

I think I put in more beans than I needed to... I was worried the candle wouldn't stay solid as it seemed wobbly
when I first put it in (you can sort of see the colored bean layer
and then the white layer I added because I didn't want the candle
to tip). I must say though that once the glue dries, the candle
sits in there VERY sturdily.

Instructions:

Mix dried popcorn, peas, & beans together in the butter bowl.

Then add Elmer's glue.

Let sit for 2 minutes, then push candle in center.

Let dry over night. push on bottom, it will pop right out.
(I made my beans quite deep, so I had to snip the sides of the container
a smidge before it popped out).
